I am studying up on domain model and OR/M frameworks. I am familiar with Apple's CoreData, and would like to know: What Microsoft product is the equivalent to Apple's CoreData?

I would have to say it's Entity Framework (EF).

Per the MSDN site regarding Entity Framework:

Entity Framework (EF) is an object-relational mapper that enables .NET developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write.

However, unlike CoreData which I believe works for OS X and iOS, I don't believe EF works on Windows Mobile phones yet, but I could be mistaken.

  • Even if it does work on mobile platforms, you probably shouldn't be doing direct database access from there anyways. – Dan Watkins Aug 02 '16 at 15:52
